Free express shipping. First Growth. Premier Grand Cru Classe in 1855.
Château Margaux 2004 is a great classic vintage. There is great finesse and above all purity on the nose in this subtle combination of floral, fruit and spice aromas; all are clearly present, but no single aroma dominates. On the palate, the tannic structure is tight-knit, fine and tender. The general impression is firstly balance, precision, freshness and finally an air-light grace which can only be found in great Margaux. Drink 2020-2050.

$119.00
100% Lagrein(bold , cabernet type of wine), very rare grape can be found only in Alto Adige /Süd Tirol region.
24 months in small oak barrels bottling with a light filtration and 12 months in the bottle.An amazingly powerful concept and the springboard to new horizons. Carano, the place of origin of Baron Di Pauli, is where it all begins. Our wine embodies the rapport between territory and Lagrein’s native soul. Carano shuns the grape’s intractably rustic edge and shades into a sophisticated elegance, transcending mere sense of place to become a genuinely cosmopolitan icon. Intense, ruby red colour. Fruitdriven nose with aromas of cherries, black currant and plum. On the palate savoury with spicy nuances, a delicate tannin structure and a soft mouthfeel , extremely long finish. Great with rich and spicy first corses, backed and grilled red meat - steaks(!), game in rosemarie sauce.

Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove 2018, Bolgheri Rosso
$99.00
Characterized by a lively ruby red color, Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2018 is a wine of great aromatic complexity, a distinctive feature of this vintage. In the glass, aromas of berries, blackberry, raspberry and red cherry are accompanied by floral hints of wild rose and spicy notes of pink pepper and licorice. On tasting, the wine has a good tannic structure, enveloping and balanced, with a crisp and savory finish.
95James Suckling. The aromas of currants, tobacco, chocolate and mushrooms are very attractive here. It’s full-bodied with juicy tannins and a flavorful, round-textured finish. Gorgeous wine and very approachable now, but better in 2023.
93Decanter Crackling with personality, this has a lovely mix of dark chocolate shavings, liquorice, sweet cedar, raspberry, sage and Tuscan underbrush. Really one to savour, holds its grip through the palate and is juicy, nuanced and mouthwatering.

Château Pichon Longueville Baron
1983 Chateau Pichon-Longueville au Baron de...
$519.00
"One of Pauillac's most consistently brilliant wines”
Pro-review: The 1983 Pichon-Baron is an uncommon example of a Pauillac that surpasses the previous vintage, albeit by a whisker, displaying more freshness on the nose of blackberry, raspberry, sage and Italian delicatessen. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy, leathery opening. There is moderate acidity here, and you could argue that it is muffled and lacks clarity toward the finish. However, there is presence and length, plus a pinch of white pepper that lingers on the aftertaste. Tasted at the Pichon-Baron vertical at the château.
Grand Cru Classe en 1855. The vineyard of Pichon Baron (as they called to distinguish it from its neighbor Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande) is situated right next to Chateau Latour on one of the finest vineyards in Pauillac. In the seventeenth century, Jacques de Pichon Longueville Baron, began to construct the vineyard of Pichon-Longueville. The reputation of the wine was established a few years later. The present castle was built in 1851 by Raoul de Pichon-Longueville. The wines of Château Pichon Baron come from this historic property. Resulting in full-bodied wine, rich in tannins, which are characterized by their finesse and elegance. Their length in the mouth is exceptional and they have a significant aging potential.
